The London Conservative Association held their first Annual Meeting yesterday, at Covent-Garden. The display was not an unsuccessful one, as far as numbers are concerned ; but if talent is to be taken into account, never was there such a deplorable failure. Not a single speech above common-place was made the whole evening ; though Mr. HOARE, the Chairman, quoted Latin and Greek, at least half a dozen times, and the Duke of BEAUFORT sounded the praises of the House of Lords, with all that grace of manner, and attic elegance of styl e , i n w hi c h he is not surpassed even by his Grace of NEWCASTLE. Really Conser vative talent must he at a low ebb, when eleven hundred Members of the squad cannot get up a single able speech among them. We do not exaggerate . when we say, that a greater amount of nonsense—of sheer drivelling nonsense, unadulte rated with the slightest alloy of common sense —was never spoken at any public meeting, than was spoken last night at Covent -Garden. No wonder the ladies retired at an ealtv hour.! Mr. HOARE'S forty-parson power of prosing must have b ore d t h em to death. Yet this gentleman was so evidently smitten with the sound of his own voice, and the magic of his own eloquence; that he was scarcely silent for ten minutes together during the whole evening. Not a toast did he propose, but he made a point of prefacing it by a dull, windy, prolix speech. On one occasion, in par ticular, he spoke, as FALSTAF' fought, " a whole hour by Shrewsbury clock." And what was lne ' theme o f hi s di scourse ? The virtues, talents, patriotism, and so fortli, of the Conservatives. As for the people, he neither knew nor cared aught for them, except as they were associated with his own party. This is the true high Tory doctrine, which permits 'no freedom of opinion, and would en slave even thought itself. On the subject of the Church, Mr. HOARE was equally energetic. " I wili fearles s ly conten d , " said he, " thatthe Chur c h of England is the . noblest ecclesiastical structure in the world. She is built upon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets—Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner-Stone." And yet this very Church, - thus lavishly belauded, as a structure without blemish, is at this very moment undergoing a process of repair at the hands of no less dis tinguished a workman than the CA Archbi s h op of CANTERBURY ! W e have neither time nor in clination to expose th e rest o f the twaddle and non sense that were drivelled forth at this Conservative meeting ; enough, theref ore , to state that it reminded us of the Fool's Paradise, so happily allud e d ..a.ppto in " Rabelais," as a place of n:iise and reve l ry, where those only are allowed to speak who can prove, beyond all power of contradiction, that they are blockheads of the first water. The rejection, by so large a majority, of M a j or ll'AisteoußT's m o tio n f or th e entire abolition of flog ging in the British army, would really be very dis couragino. able 1- alwere we not convinced that many Honour _ambers who voted against the measure, would re4 dily supp ort any proposition for its prospective, gradual, and, in their opinion, its safer accomplish ment. They are timid, not b ecause t h ey t hi n k t h e system of flogging a good one, or that it is not easy to devise a better —but because, like every other evil which has an inherent tendency to degrade man : ; i n d, i t h as generated a kind of moral necessity for its continuance. w o can make large allowance s for such Itars, althonah we do not participate in them-. We t'egttril the mystein cf military fleogengx deie 4 Tht most degrading— the Jutost boVnii\abie- , ---and the most essentially barla tot" that ever was devised. We have never looked upon its existence as other than the foulest stnit', upon the character of the British peuptet 'gild independently of conideratlobs vhall hail its abolition as all act 43f . ‘latit.itiAl justice. We are not now about td eittet into any of .the details of the questi‘ori—out limits will fiat admit 'Of it fOlr this day, at least ; but we trust to have ail 'bjipbitllkiitc of returning to it to-morrow: 61e tact, however, stated by several of the WitiWt'ses examined before the Com missioners for inquiring into the effect of flogging in the Ai:llV, appears, from the report of the IeIVA*, 10 have been overlooked by every member who addressed the Hous e . W e a ll u d e to 'the statement, that the more ignorant the recruit the better the soldier. Now what does this prove, but that no high-minded man could submit to the system upon, which our army is governed ? It is a mortifying admission truly, that the less knowledge, the less reason, the less judgment, the less feeling, the less personal pride, the less ambition, the leSs patriotism, and the less conscience a man has, the better is he qualified to serve in the ranks of the British army, as a defender of the laws and liberties, and an assertor of the greatness and glory of his country Mr. HUME'S speech was by far the best of any de livered during the debate. Had Lord Howtex con fined himself to a mere statement of the intentions of the Government, with respect to the measures in con templation for reducing the number of offences for which corporal punishment will in future be inflicted, and the inducements about to be held out for encou raging good conduct in the arm y, h e wou ld h ave acte d mucti'more judiciously than be did, by attempting to bolster up a bad system by a string of sophisms which any school-boy could pull to pieces. But we may take an early opportunity of referring in detail to the reasoning of his Lordship. We admit all the diffi culties which he cited as standing in the way of a total change of system ; but we are prepared to show that they can be easily surmounted without having recourse to the disbanding of a single regiment. We are happy to find that Sir W. MOLESWORTH has determined to probe the BRUDENELL transaction to the bottom. O ur rea d ers w ill h ave perceived, by our Report of Tuesday's debate, that the Hon. Baronet, with a view to ulterior proceedings, moved for a series of documents connected with the Court-martial held Cork on the 25th of December, 1833. 'was that celebrated Court-martial before wh Captain WA THEN was arraigned by the 1 2.a;lant Colonel, who, to use a trite but expressi.:-, phrase, was caught in his cond own trannes p, the. C-'4.4 - rt having acqu itt e d the accused and er . trans 7; the ac cuser . Th e c i rcumstances wh i ch ired at the trial—the eaves-dropping—the es "iiionage—and other lord-like practices proved against Colonel BRUDENELL, excited at the time a great sensation in the army. The result, as our readers know, was the removal of that officer from the com mand of a regiment which he then held, and his being placed on the half-pay list out of harm's way. It is not to be doubted that the dismissal gave general satisfac tion to military men, who never dreamt that his Lord ship would be restored to active service. They did not take into their calcule.tion the extent of his Lord ship's influence at head-quarters. They forgot that Lord HILL was Commander-in-Chief—that Lord BRUDENELL was brother to Lady HOWE—and that Lord HOWE was Chamberlain to the QUEEN ! Lord JOHN RUSSELL stated last night the altera tions which he proposed to make in the Tithe Com mutation Bill. These alterations relate principally to the mode in which the commutation shall be carried into effect. If three-fourths of the landowners of a parish decide in favour of a voluntary commutation, this decision shall bind the whole parish ; and if the arrangement is not effected before the first of Oc tober, 1837, the Commissioners are then empowered to order a commutation for the parish. But whether the commutation be voluntary or compulsory, two valuers are to be appointed by the landowners, the one by a majority in number, the other by a majority in value, whose office it shall be to applot the rent-charge : in other words, to apportion the sums to be charged on the different lands. This is a partial adoption of Mr. BLANIIRE'S suggestion, and is so far an im provement on the original plan, as it enables the land lords to adapt the amount of the rent-charge to the circumstances of particular lands--a power which they protested against being placed in the hands of the Commissir,mers. No farther deduction, we are glad to see, is to be made from the amount of the tithe, 75 and 60 Per cent. being retained as the maximum and minimum. The whole of the Paris Journals of Tuesday have been received. The following are extracts from them : PARIS, APRIL 12.—Accounts from Algiers and Oran say that the environs of Oran are very unsafe. No person can pass the line of blockhouses without incurring great danger. It seems that the Emir Abdel Kader intimidates the Arabs of the country, for they do not attend the markets, which makes provisions scarce and dear. Happily the capture of 200 oxen, fro►% the Garrabats, by General Peregaux, has procured the garrison a supply of meat. There was no wine, and the troops were supplied with brandy. Private letters say that the vessels intended to convey the troops were at Oran on the 24th. The postscript to a letter from Oran of the 21st says—"l open my letter to tell you of the good news from the Camp on the Abra. You know that General Peregaux marched to the plain of the Abra, and that up to the 16th he had not fallen in with the enemy. Only information has been received from the Cerabas, that he had captured a convoy of 3,000 oxen. To-day a report is spread by the Arabs themselves, that the Garabas had sustained a complete defeat, and that after the battle, Habid Boulem, their Chief, who was the right hand of Abdel Kader, had come with his people to make their submis sion. Five or six neighbouring tribes has followed the exam ple, and it seems that Mustapha will not stop now he is going on so well. It is said he employs the Arabs, who have joined him, and subject those who have not submitted. The Su fen of the line, Captain Bander, arrived at Toulon, from the Levant, on the Bth of April. —Messager, April 12. FRENCH FUNDS.-PARIS, APRIL 12, Five per Cents., 1081. 1071. 25c.

It was supposed that MENDIZABAL would be in no haste to fill up the vacancies in the Cabinet, as his great object is to select only as his colleagues men possessing the confi dence of the Chambers. The following is the copy of a letter addressed by Senor IsTuntz to Senor MENDIZABAL on declining to accept of five as a Member of the Government. It gave great satis faction to all parties, inasmuch as it proves that ISTURIZ is not actuated by a spirit of factious opposition : hrsda:Mh 1, . " My d ear Mendizabal— " It is T wit u h sinc y ere arc regret o that lB36 I in form you of my resolution relative to the offer you made me last Sunday to enter your Ministry. I declared to you that in my opinion you ought to complete your Ministry, either with me or without, and prepare yourself to appear before the Le gislature compact and strong as regards persons and things. " It is now my duty to declare to you that I cannot grant you my weak support. This step is imposed on me from the confidence with which you have honoured me, which requires from me a candid and disinterested acknowledgment. The various motives on which my resolution is grounded would require more space than the limits of a letter will adrr pit of. Several of these motives have been discussed in our colt ferences, some of which have been overcome and others st ill exist.

Oar loss consists in four killed of the battalions of Lorca and Ceuta, and some wounded. We have taken possession of several horses, accoutrements, and a large quantity of arms, which remain in our camp. We pursued the rebels for more than two hours and a half, till at last our troops and horses were unequal to greater fatigue. " The troops of the line, as well the• National luard, per. formed their duties to my entire satisfaction, which I hasten to communicate to your Excellency, until I shall be able to extend a more detailed despatch. " I forward this to your Excellency by express, for the satisfaction of her Majesty. " Valencia, April 3, 1836.' " The only other news in the Papers received consist of rumours to which it would be idle to attach the slightest importance. MENDIZABAL is now strong Id dim We have received German and Brussels Papers, the for mer to the 10th, the latter to the 12th inst. The German journals announce that a railroad is about to be constructed which shall connect the cities of Vienna and Milan by a direct line. This, indeed would soon alter the face of Italy. On the 10th inst. Messrs, BOWRING and THOMAS had an audiende of the King of the BELGIANS, when his Ma jesty expressed to them the plaasure it would afford him to assist in the construction of a railroad which would connect London, Paris, and Brussels. Mr. Bowania had subse quently an interview with the Ministers, and several of the most influential merchants, who all agreed that the project w as Mg JP.72:fable, and that they would contribute to its a.qc‘":;ptishment by every means in their power. Mr. Bow- RING immediately afterwards left Brussels for L o ndon. - - The Deputies of Cologne and Aix la Chapelle have also resolved upon carrying a Railway from Cologne to the frontiers of Belgium The Government of Saxony is engaged in the formation, or rather the revision, of a new penal code. The punish ments, in the opinion of the Augsburg Gazette, are too mild. We are of quite a different opinion. The punishments are death ; the house of correction in the first degree, i. e. for life, and for a certain time up to 20 years ; the house of correction in the second degree (15 years at the most) ; the workhouse (up to 10 years); imprisonment, labour, fine, reprimand. As aggravation corporal chastisement may be inflicted, but not more than 30 lashes, and only on males : weak persons and females, instead of corporal punishment, may be punished by de priving them of warm food every other day. Criminals under 18 years of age cannot suffer any more severe punish ment than confinement in the workhouse. Persons can not be called to account for- crimes after the lapse of 15 years, except in the case of those to which the penalty of death is attached, and which are the following .- 1. High Treason—lncludinc, attacks on the indepen dence and constituti on o f the German Confederation. 2. Murder. 3. Arson—But only when an inhabitant has perished and been mutilated, and the result might have been fore seen ; when fire is set to several places at once ; when se veral persons have combined together to commit arson ; when the criminal has rendered the means of extinguishing the fire useless (cutting the hose of the engines, &c.) 4. Perjury—lf an innocent person has suffered death in consequence. 5. Robbery—When the person robbed dies in conse quence of the injury done by the violence inflicted on him. Duelling to be punished with imprisonment for various periods, from two months up to twenty years, according to the case, viz.—from five to twenty years when one is killed, and it was previously agreed to fight. till one fell ; from three to six years when one falls without such previous agreement ; front two months to one year when neither party is dangerously wounded. Cases of relapse are punished at the discretion of the Judge, with, at the most, the double of the legal penalty. In general, much scope is left for the discretion of the Judge.

The following accounts of the Indian war in Florida includes all that is either interesting or important in their columns : LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM FLORIDA.—BATTLE. WITH THE INDIANS.—We learn officially that General Gaines was attacked on the night of the 26th Feb., by about 1,500 Indians as he supposes, and after two hours' hard fighting he succeeded in beating them off. - The loss on our side is 4 killed and 20 wounded ; among the latter, two officers. Gen. Gaines is in a dangerous situation ; to use his own expression, "his wounded are increasing, and his horses decreasing." He is short of provisions, and entrenched and surrounded by the enemy. LETTER FROM FLORIDA—By the ship Lafayette, We have received a Charleston paper of the 13th inst., from which the following extract is made :—" General Clinch, with his forces, in conjunction with the Alchusa militia, making in all about 800, had gone to aid General Gaines. He reached the camp on Saturday last, and effected a junction with him. With their united forces amounting to nearly 2,000 men, General Gaines intended crossing the Withlacooche on Monday last. His boats, floating bridges, &c., were all prepared. He has four 12-pounders, with which to cover his landing, on the op posite side. The Indians will undoubtedly make a desperate struggle to prevent his crossing. On Monday the firing of cannon was distinctly heard. It is all over now, and we are anxious to hear the result." MILLINERS.—We have to offer our meed of praise to Dr. Hodgkin, for setting forth the unpitied lot of milliners. Condemned, like glass-blowers, or those who work in metals, or toil in manufactories, to breathe a heated vitiated air, they are still more debarred from exercise, and they are even kept longer at work. Almost daily experience shows the effects of this system to medical men, in the ruined constitution of young females. Inquire into their habits, and it is found that they go to work as soon as they rise in the morning, perhaps at six o'clock ; that their meals are hastily taken, that they seldom or never walk out, but sit at work till eight o'clock, often till ten o'clock, and sometimes, when fa shion demands more exertion from its slaves, till after mid night. Young as many of them are, they soon feel the effects of this regimen, and the after consequences to their health are very serious. Their first physical misery is indigestion ; then follow amennerrhcea, debility, perhaps phthisis ; or, if they survive, diseases of the liver, severe pains, anasarca, and ulcers of the legs. When to this we add that they are, as Dr. Hodgkin observes, deprived of the comforts of home and domestic habits, that their occupation gives rise to a love of dress, and that this increases the danger of temptation to which they are exposed, we have a lamentable picture of what may be suffered by one class of people in order to minister to the extravagance of others.—From the British and Foreign Medical Review, April 1836.

About midnight a knocking was heard at the door. " Who is there ?" was the question. " Friends I" was the reply ; and the door was opened, when two men wearing masks rushed in, and demanded of the old woman, whom they first encountered, all the money In the house. She pretended to go and get it, but at this moment the gendarme appeared at the top of the u staircase, and discharged t w o pistols at the robbers, wh o tin stantly fell wounded on the floor.

It is said that John Smith, Esq., of Grosvenor square, and Dale-park, Sussex ; W. T. Copeland, Esq., M. P., of Lincoln's Inn-fields, and Leyton, Essex (the present Lord Mayor) ; and T. W. Beaumont, Esq., M. P., of 144, Piccadilly, and Hexham Abbey, Northumberland, are to be created Baronets. The University of Cambridge being in the See of Ely, the successor of Dr. Sparke will be a member of that body, for the Government could not inflict a greater insult on the University than appointing an Oxford man ; but we believe Dr. Allen is a Fellow of Trinity College, where his patron, Earl Spencer, graduated.—Morning Paper. There is no expectation, we believe at present, of his Excellency the Russian Ambassador resigning his embassy to Count Matuszewic, and quitting this country. Owing to ill health the Count was a short time ago desirous of visiting the Continent, for the improvement of his health, but be is now quite well, and it is said he is not likely to leave England until the close of the summer, when be will probably proceed to one of the German spas for a short time. The Russian Ambassador entertained Lord Burg hersh and a few friends at dinner, on Monday, and afterwards went to witness the French performances at the St. James's Theatre, where he has taken a box for the season. The sum paid for the use of Covent-garden-Thea tre, for the entertainment yesterday, is 3001., a large part of which will be defrayed by the money paid for admission to the boxes. The tickets for the grand Westminster Conservative dinner on St. George's day, at Willis's Rooms, are in such demand that the company will be much more numerous than was at first expected. The Conservatives are increasing in all d i rect ions. Korn ing Post. Westminster Half is expected to be opened, the first time since it has undergone a thorough repair, to-morrow, preparatory to Easter Term being opened by the Judges. The walls are lined with stone, similar to Bath stone, and has a very fine effect ; and it has been newly floored. The unique roof has been cleansed and repaired, and the repairs of the grand gothic window were finished yesterday. SPAIN.—One of Don Carlos's bravest officers, Don Vincent Cordea, surnamed El Rojo de San Vincente, is dead of his wounds. He was buried on the sth at Larranza. EAST INDIA HOUSE.—Yesterday a ballot was taken at the East India House for the choice of six Directors to serve for the next four years, in the room of Wm. Astell, Esq., Wm. B. Bayley, Esq., Russell Ellice, Esq., Richard Jenkins, Esq., Campbell Marjoribanks, Esq., and John Mas terman, Esq., who go out by 'rotation. There was no oppo sition anticipated to the House list. The following gentle men were recommended by the Court of Directors, viz. John Cotton, Esq., John Forbes, Esq., John Loch, Eft., Charles Mills, Esq., Henry Shank, Esq., and Henry gt. George Tucker, Esq. At six o'clock the glasses were closed, and the scrutineers having investigated their contents, declared that the election had fallen upon the gentlemen named, after which the Court adjourned. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when the thanks of the Court were voted una nimously to Wm. Stanley Clarke, Esq., Chairman, and Sir James R. Carnac, Bart., Deputy Chairman, for their great application and attention to the affairs of the East India Com pany during the past year. The contest between the candidates for the office of Clerk to the Board of Guardians for the united parishes of the Strand Union terminated yesterday by their electing Mr. Corder, vestry clerk of the parish of St. Paul, Covent-gar den. The salary is 3001. per annum, and the attendance re quired is from ten o'clock in the forenoon until four in the afternoon, every day in the week, except Sunday. There is much canvassing in Covent-garden parish for the office of ves try clerk, the office having become vacant by the resignation of Mr. Corder. There are four candidates in the field. It appears from letters received from various districts that the rain for some time past has been general throughout the country, and has checked the labours of the agriculturits, who complain of the saturated state of the soil and the effects of the unseasonable weather in March, during the usual seed ing time. It may concern the Prince of Capua to learn, that the Milan Gazette of the sth publishes the royal decree of 1829, forbidding all Neapolitan Princes to marry without the royal consent. Austria is thus adverse to the late Miss Smyth's pretensions. We hear that Sir George Tapps, the Member for Christchurch, is about to lay out a large sum in the formation' of an entirely new watering-place on the coast, between that town and Poole. A smart shock of an earthquake was felt through an extensive district in Shropshire about 8 o'clock on Easter Monday. The workmen in the coal and iron mines of Mr. Botfield, at Old Park, and Dawley, were terrified from their labour, thinking that it was an explosion of fire-damp. The same was felt through Colebrook-dale, Wellington, and Apley Castle. It extended also to the opposite side of the river, to Bridgenorth, Wenlock, &c. It is somewhat remarkable that a similar shock occurred in the same neighbourhood at about the same season two years ago.— Worcester Guardian. The Hon. Captain Gordon hesitates not to assert that the Aberdeen Schools Bill is very objectionable in princi ple. This is just what might have been expected from a thorough-paced Tory hack. He can see nothing good in a measure which deprives his county supporters of a snug sum of money, that they would gladly have employed in improving their estates, and which appropriates it to increase the means of spreading knowledge. He has good reason to be Opposed to the Bill. It was right that so distinguished an individual as Captain Gordon should add to his condemnation of the Schools Bill, a laudatory notice of the Tory Association of Old Aberdeen, as nobody else would have thought of bearing testimony to the merits of that wonderful body, and of bringi ng it into such prominence.—Aberdeen Herald. While the London papers state that Nina Lassave is displaying herself at a Coffee-house, in the Strand, a Tou louse journal announces her arrival in that town. ANCIENT RELIC. — On Monday last, in a ploughed field, at the bottom of Marygate, York, belonging to Mr. Priestman, a boy of the name of William Hughes found what at first appeared to be a large copper coin, but which, on ex amination, proved to be made of lead, covered with a strong copper-coloured pigment. It is in a high state of preserva tion, and of about the size of the oldest coinage of penny pieces, but a little thicker. On the obverse are two faces, three-quarter fronts, and looking towards each other; be tween them is a mace or sceptre, with the figure of a cross, and a little ball terminating it ; and above are th e letters, S P A S P E, in Roman capitals. The reverse p re sents, in bold characters, in three lines, NICO LMUS P - 1 3 . There is a kind of circumflex above the PP. A strong beaded line encircles each die of the coin or medal, and both the faces on the obverse are similarly surrounded, —,Le e d s jneelligencer. DUBLIN ELECTION COMMITTEE. THIS DAY. The Committee re-assembled this morning at 11 o'clock, and remained in deliberation till near two o'clock, when the following Resolution was read by the clerk : " That although the Treasurer''s warrant for the Wide Street Tax for Michaelmas Term, 18.64 1 Tits not been consideringproduced ; yet, the legal prestirtiption raised by -Le obli g ations of the Act, and conn e cting tint.

" That Garret Doyle registered for the house No. 111, New-street, and voted on that qualification on the 15th of January, 1835, thereby admitting himself to be the occupier. " That at the time or voting, the Wide-street tax for Easter Term, and that for Michaelmas Term, chargeable on No'. 11 1, New ,street, remained unpaid, and that Garret Doyle, being i!v4itf(sl-6 in arrears more than six months amount of a municipal tax, .104 vote cannot be allowed." This placed Mr. O'Connell in a minority of one, and Counsel on his behalf struck off two of the petitimer's voters who were proved to be insolvents. The Counsel for the petitioners then proceeded with their scrutiny. THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY). CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK • New 'Vorl4 Papers to the 22d ult., Philadelphia to the 20th ult., Charleston to the 12th ult., Washington to the 20th ult., New Orleans to the sth ult., Norfolk to the 12th ult., Boston Id itOth ult., Montreal to the 16th ult., and Quebec to the 12th ult., hale been this day received. Of the war in Merida the following intelligence is extrac ted from the Washington Telegraph:— " The accounts from Florida are of the most intcresting character. From a slip received last evening from the office of the Charleston Mercury, we learn that General Clinch, with 800 men, joined General Gaines at his encampment on the 4th inst, and that Gaines intended crossing the river the next day, to attack the Indians. He had his boats and rafts all ready, and six twelve pounders, to cover the landing of his men on the opposite side. It is said that the Indians are encamped about four miles from the river, and that they are protected by a breast-work which they have thrown up of egt tlt, and their principal force is on that point. The firing of catnliM was distinctly heard at Fort Drane on the sth inst., and we hate no doubt General Gaines has before this succeeded in passing the river, and has completely beaten the Indians. To prevent the Indians from learning his strength, General Gaines showed no more than 200 men. By all his movements he has showed great skill." SENATE.—ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS. Mr. King intimated that he would move to fill up the reso lution with the words "on Monday, the 80th May," for the adjournment of Congress. The navigation of the Delaware is now open, and several vessels reached Philadelphia on Thursday. The Montreal Papers are not of much importance. They had received the English Papers, containing the King's speech. They state they must again point out to the Consti tutionalists the necessity of employing a political agent at home during the ensuing season, as the English inhabitants of that province have to shield themselves against the paid emissaries, both of the French faction, and of the Frenchified Cabinet— against Lord Gosford and Co., as well as against Mr. Roe buck and Co. _ . . ............... _._. The Quebec Papers state—" The inclement winter, it is hoped, is just about to close. It has brought with it a variety of diseases. Scarlet fever, limited however to the young branches of families, has been very prevalent, though the cases arc diminishing ; it was remarked that they were seldom fatal." We have received the Journal du Commerce of Antwerp of yesterday's date, bringing the Dutch Journals of the 12th inst. It appears that the papers from Java of the 30th Dec., state that, on Nov. 1, an earthquake took place, which caused terrible disasters in the islands of Motuara and Amboine-58 persons perished by the blowing up of a Caserene in the inte rior, and 66 were wounded. The Chinese camp was inun dated, and the new mole was destroyed. They were anx iously waiting for further details, concerning this disastrous event. THE FUNDS.

THE IRON TRADE.—Seldom within these many years have the Carron works been more busy and extensively engaged than at present. All the departments of this national establishment are in full operation; and while the generality of mere foundries throughout the country are suffering, more or less, from the effects of the late rise on pig iron, and obliged to discharge many hands. Carron continues its deafening roar, rather inspirited by the advance of price. We understand that besides the immense cargoes lately shipped for various parts of England and the Continent, there are now within the works upwards of 300,000 tons of smelted iron, both from the hot and cold blast—the quality of which, in the manufac ture of guns and machinery, has rendered Carron so distinguished among the iron works of Europe. —Stirling Journal. On Friday took place the chaining of the convicts previous to their departure for Toulon. • Forty are attached to the same chain, in couples, one on each side of it ; a smaller chain, attached to a ring rivetted round their necks, fastening them to the great chain. The ceremony takes place in the court of the Bicetre, athwart which the chains are ranged, and the gang forming each chain are marched to it, compelled to sit down, whilst a smith, with a moveable anvil, hammer, and rivets, successively attaches each culprit to the common band. It is a trying moment, when the frame of the sufferer is shaken morally and physically by the blows of the sledge which fas tens him to infamy. Few undergo it without tears ; and even those who cannot weep evince some analogous change. The more infirm gangs go in carts, the stronger walk to their desti nation. The amine rivetted on Friday comprised some re markable convicts, which attracted the notice of the Parisian press. One was Tassu, a notary of Meaux, wealthy, and of good family, condemned for using violence towards his own daughter. He was bowed down and old, and carried a little basket with some provisions. His wife, notwithstanding his crime, had been constant in her visits and attention to him when in prison, and he was heard to murmur thanks to her, mingled with tears and ejaculations of utter despair, as the smith rivetted him to his companions in infamy. " Oh, he !" exclaimed his comra d e ; " we are prettily off, to have a notary amongst us. If our affairs get embarrassed at the place whither we are bound, he is the man to set all right." SINGULAR ACCIDENT.—As a spinster at St: Alban's, a few days ago, was endeavouring to hit with a stick her favourite cat, which was in the act of carrying off a beef steak, the lady struck her arm with so much f orce on the sharp edge of a barrel, as to break both the bones of her arm half-way between the wrist and elbow. Puss narrowly escaped a broken back. —Herts county Press, ,r j 1 ibel le;ttoit'aent ii-0 LITERATURE.
